How 5 Minutes a Day Can Improve Your Health and Increase Your Lifespan | Caroline Arnold

"Something that sounds as simple as running five minutes a day won’t be
simple in practice. At a minimum you’ll need suitable running shoes, a
place to run, and (hardest of all) a time to run. Establishing a change
in habit means scaling a behavioral change to something you can
absolutely achieve and sustain forever. If you can manage to fit in a
five minute run once a week and at the same time and day
each week, you will very likely succeed. And once you have established
your run habit once a week, you’ll have a behavioral pattern that makes
it easier to extend your run to other days. If, on the other hand, you
just pack up your running shoes and head to work with the general
ambition of finding five minutes to run every day, you will very likely
fail."
